Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Recollections of the Eventful Life of a Soldier The ensuing narrative, from its outset to its close in 1814, embraces a period of about twenty-one years, fifteen of which relate to the author´s boyhood, and the remaining six to his career in the army. The only part of the soldier´s story which begets a feeling of disappointment is its abrupt termination. The vicissitudes of his subsequent career might have formed an interesting, though melancholy, sequel to the present volume. The few particulars we have gathered refer chiefly to that period of his life. While in Ireland in 1814, about a year previous to the conclusion of the narrative, the author married the individual of whom, under the name of Ellen M´Carthy, he speaks in such high terms of admiration in the "Scenes and Sketches." By this union he became the father of ten children, seven of whom died in early life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
